Someone a few years ago showed me this; I can’t remember who.
In your .lc script do this:
put "US/Mountain" into $TZ # or whatever time zone you want to show
put shell("date") into tDTstring
Setting the $TZ variable right before called the date command returns the
date/time the specified timezone. At least it works on the on-rev servers.
